Teething

So, all week Gayatri has been uber cute, chewing on her hand. As she's just barely 16 weeks, and not drooling I was completely thrown for a loop when suddenly last night she starts fussing mightily. We get her to sleep, and then five minutes into her sleep, she wakes up screaming bloody murder. Nilesh was about to call the doctor when I tried to touch her mouth and she started gnawing on my finger like a starving dog. And what does my finger feel as it is being chewed? A little ridge in the gum.

As long as we had something for her to chew on, she was fine. Nothing in her mouth for five minutes and we got a screaming head. Thank god a friend had just given us a bottle of homeopathic teething tablets. We dissolved one in her mouth and she was her babbly happy self once again.

I called mom just to find out when I cut my first tooth. Yup. Three months. Whee! I'm gonna miss her toothless grin...
